similar to: ESX access using libvirt

Just curious but how long has ESX support been in libvirt? Also I noticed this error when accessing one of my windows vms: error: internal error Expecting VMX entry 'scsi0.virtualDev' to be 'buslogic' or 'lsilogic' but found 'lsisas1068' Not sure whether this is an enhancement, defect, or not supported at this time. Thanks. -Jon

Greetings: I have an issue with connecting to the esx hypervisor from my guest Vm. The purpose of the connection is to obtain host related information (like network, devices etc). I am not sure what is it that rejects the connect at the server side, and what i am missing. I am running lib0.7.5, i have libvirtd running on guest-vm. The host ESX has the ip address a.b.c.d. ? Any

Usual prologue: we're testing on CentOS 5.5, RHEL subscriptions purchased. Now trying to use virt-v2v to transfer Win2008 Server guest from ESXi host to KVM host. Have enabled SSH on ESXi host, and can connect using esx+ssh://esxhost, but procedure fails because nc isn't found on ESXi. Fair enough. BTW, ESXi looks like a radically cut down RH system (/etc/sysconfig being the give-away)?

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Hi, I am doing poc for using libvirt api for implementation of esx in python. I tried researching through module but did not find a way how it works for esx. Any help on how to proceed specifically for esx would be of great help. Please let me know as soon as possible, lagging on deliverables. Thanks for help!! Regards Rohit Singh

Dear All, I would like to know what functions and classes are implemented in the ESX(i) driver ? i am trying to use virsh to retrieve some simple information such as vcpuinfo domain, but it is not working, so I would like to know what functions are implemented in libvirt ESX(i) driver. Also i checked the http://libvirt.org/drvesx.html and nothing is mentioned there. Thank You, Regards, Sherif

Hi, I was trying to connect to ESX server using libvirt's virsh console but I am getting the following error: *virsh# connect esx://172.16.73.14* *Enter username for 172.16.73.14 [root]: root* *Enter root's password for 172.16.73.14:* *error: Failed to connect to the hypervisor* *error: internal error curl_easy_perform() returned an error: Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with

Hi, I've been trying to figure out how to create a new domain(create a new virtual machine) using the ESX driver. The documentation at http://libvirt.org/drvesx.html says: To define a new domain the driver converts the domain XML into a VMware VMX file and uploads it to a datastore known to the ESX server. Because multiple datastores may be known to an ESX server the driver needs to decide

Hello everyone, I want to use libvirt to manage an Vmware ESXi 4.0 server from within a virtual machine running on that server. I did not find any C examples using ESX(i). Can anyone give me some example code, because I am really new in this domain and I can't get started... I don't find any information about using libvirt with ESX(i), even if it is supposed to work with it. I thank you

Thanks a ton for the reply Matthias. I tried your suggestion but now I got one more message saying: *virsh # connect esx://172.16.73.14/?no_verify=1* *Enter username for 172.16.73.14 [root]: root* *Enter root's password for 172.16.73.14: * *error: Failed to connect to the hypervisor* *error: internal error: curl_easy_perform() returned an error: Unsupported protocol (1) : Protocol https not

Hello All, I have just started studying the libvirt and I am trying to connect to ESX Server (version 4) using virsh (version 0.7.5) using the following command: virsh -c esx+ssh://root@<fully qualified hostname)> It inquires the root password and as soon as I inform the password it throws the error: error: cannot recv data: Connection reset by peer error: failed to connect to the

Hi, I just compiled libvirt with ESX support. I can login just fine, list all the guests/domains but when I try to reboot or shutdown one of my guests/domains I get this error: virsh # reboot dbcluster1 error: Failed to reboot domain dbcluster1 error: internal error HTTP response code 500 for call to 'RebootGuest'.

Depends what you need to do you can transform it with xmltodict or use some higher level API. I'm not sure I can

Hi, Is virsh able to access the VMX config of a virtual machine running on a esxi host? I would like to take backups of my virtual machine configs and the doku section "Converting from VMware VMX config to domain XML config" (http://libvirt.org/drvesx.html) comes close to this - but does not tell how to get access to the vmx file. I would prefer a solution where ssh access to the

Hi, is there some easy way how to shut down vmware ESXi host? We have same apc smart 1500 and I passed usb port into one virtual linux, so it can monitor ups state via NUT. So how can i make esx server avare of low battery? Maybe using vsphere-cli utils? With regards Libor -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I always used IET on CentOS but I have a quick server to setup to backup some VM's, then migrate to DAS on another server and the easiest way for me will be to accomplish this via iSCSI vmfs stores. I figured I would just use the ini that ships with CentOS but have never used it against ESX, anyone do this and have experiences they care to share? Should it be trivial or are there any non
